Here, we present the complete genome of Pseudomonas sp. UK4. This bacterium was the first Pseudomonas strain shown to produce functional amyloids, and it represents a model organism for studies of functional amyloids in Pseudomonas (Fap).

The response regulator gene gacA influences the production of several secondary metabolites in both pathogenic and beneficial Pseudomonas spp. In this study, we developed primers and a probe for the gacA gene of Pseudomonas species and sequenced a 425 bp fragment of gacA from ten Pseudomonas strains isolated from different plant-associated environments. Polymerase chain reaction analysis and So...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria(PGPR) on physiological and biochemical properties of maize (Zea mays L.) in different cultivation methods under water stress. The experiment was carried out as split-plot design including water stress (well-watered, mild stress, and severe stress) as main plot and also cultiv...

in order to detect hydrogen cyanide gene and to determine pseudomonas fluorescent efficiency in producing hydrogen cyanide for controlling the growth of rhizoctonia solanipathogen (the causal agent of sugar beet root and crown rot), samples were collected from sugar beet rhizosphere in sabzevar fields. after soil sampling and purification, 31 pseudomonas spp. isolates were separated on specific...

We report for the first time the draft genome sequence of two psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species, Pseudomonas simiae RGCB 73 and Pseudomonas brenneri RGCB 108, from the Arctic that produce more than one acyl homoserine lactone molecule of varied N-acyl length. The study confirms the presence of a LuxR-LuxI (type) mediated quorum-sensing system in both the Pseudomonas species and enables us to u...

Rhinolithiasis is a rare condition in routine otolaryngologic practice and may cause chronic sinusitis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is frequently found microorganism in chronic sinusitis. Although pseudomonas infections are not uncommon in chronic sinusitis, no report of co-existance of the trinity of rhinolithiasis, nasal pseudomonas infection and diabetes mellitus was found in the literature. This...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, aerobic rod belonging to the bacterial family Pseudomonadaceae. The family includes other genera, which, together with certain other organisms, constitute the bacteria informally known as pseudomonads. These bacteria are common inhabitants of soil and water. They occur regularly on the surfaces of plants and occassionally on the surfaces of animals. Th...

The population dynamics of pseudomonads in gilt-head sea bream Mediterranean fish (Sparus aurata) stored under different conditions were studied. Phenotypic analysis and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of whole-cell proteins were performed to identify a total of 106 Pseudomonas strains isolated from S. aurata stored under different temperatures (at 0, 10, and 20 degree...

The refractory nature of Pseudomonas infections to chemotherapy reflects its ability to rapidly acquire resistance and adapt to hostile environment. In order to keep eye on changing trends in susceptibility patterns of Pseudomonas sp. and to modify therapeutic choices, a retrospective study was carried out. Samples for culture and sensitivity testing were screened for presence of Pseudomonas sp...

Objective: To investigate infection distribution of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on burned patients in our hospital as well as its drug resistance in order to provide reference of clinical use of antibiotics. Methods: Statistically analysed 481 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their drug sensitive test results from burned patients who were sent to hospital from January 2004 to December 2006. Results: In ou...
